Hope I got this in the right place, it is mostly desaturated. :cool: The background was done by using the "colorize" mode in H/S and using a slightly different tone than a normal sepia.
When I shot this, I almost didn't notice the little warbler. When I saw the image full-size, it begged for this treatment. I did a similar one a couple of weeks ago with a finch in a dead tree, and Julie showed me how nice it looked with the background in monochrome. Hope you like this one... ;)
Julie, I do like your version. It shows a different concept which I like. My thoughts on the original was to have the bird look overwhelmed by the large frame. Sort of a commentary on the times, dontcha know... ;) It would probably look better with some taken off the top and bottom to make a pano crop.
I like that one too Dave! Thanks to both of you! I appreciate this open dialog and presentation of different ideas. Just one of the factors that makes BPN such a positive experience.
I like your capture and image with the de-colorization Kerry, I like Julie's crop, it puts all of the attention on your subject; and Dave's horizontal composition...Dave's composition would be the classic rendition to showcase this little guy...good show...:cool:
Kerry, I think all of the posts are really good - and I see where you were going with your original idea so that makes more sense to me now. I like that you stepped outside the box and tried this - it really does bring attention to that beautiful bird!
The conventional cropping is what Dave shows and I would have suggested. After looking at Jules I like it best since it breaks the rules but so does the base image with the color changes. Really sweet looking and would make fine print !!!
